To dance is human, to polka is divine.

I sort of believe that my voice was preordained; I'm a Buddhist who believes in reincarnation so I think that my voice is a few lifetimes old.

Heartache is very fertile ground for song-making but so is happiness, so is absolute bliss.

I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.

My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.

I started singing when I was five. I grew up the youngest of four kids who all studied classical piano, so you could say I've been listening to music ever since the moment of conception.
